Go into the kitchen and ask you mom if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars." The kid looks confused but does as told. He asks his mom the question and she replies, "well, I don't want to cheat on your father, but that is a lot of money. We could put you kids through college and get a new house with it so I think I would."

The kid returns and tells the father her answer. The father then says, "go ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars." The kid nods and goes off to his sister's room. Her reply to the question is, "hell yeah I would. . . in a second."

The returns and tells his father her answer. The father then tells him, "now go ask your brother if he would sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars." The boy looks confused but does as he is told. His brother responds to the question by saying, "well, that is a lot of money. I'm not into that, but if I knew for sure nobody would find out I think I would."

The kids returns and tells his father his answer. The father then says, " So here is the difference. Potentially you and I are sitting on 3 million dollars, but in reality we are just living with 2 sluts and a queer."
